    I would wait until the year 2100 before pronouncing it "twenty-(something)"
    but I can't really say that cuz I might be dead by then

    Simple answer, For 1994 you wouldn't say the year is "One thousand nine hundred ninety four" You would say "Nineteen ninety Four" Just like you wouldn't say Two thousand and ten, it's just twenty ten... Hope I could clear that up for everyone! ;)

    Twenty-Ten. I should know; everybody in Vancouver keeps referring to the Olympics as the "Twenty-Ten Winter Games". :rolleyes:

    I'm adopting a similar approach. When someone asks me the question "When did this happen?!", I reply with "this year".

    I think it's not twenty until we're out of the teens.

    Two Thousand-Nineteen... Twenty-Twenty...

    Does not matter
    it means the same yes ones longer but as long as it means 2010 it does not matter
    you say tomato i say tomato sort of thing

    also that 2012 thing load of crap
    I think something big is gonna happen but not the end of the world just the world as we know it
    any way its all tied to religion and religion is also a load of crap
